Trying to figure out when to call people in another time zone? Time and date.com creates a chart for you highlighting appropriate times for the various locations of people participating in the conversation.

Katy mentioned this Web site last week for help with figuring out international dialing codes. Once you have the dialing codes, you can use the site's Meeting Planner to find an appropriate time for the call. The form lets you enter several time zones/locations and gives you a color-coded chart highlighting the most appropriate times. Let's say you are located in Chicago and want to figure out when you can call people in Budapest. You specify the two cities, you enter the date (today's date is already preselected) and click to request the timetable. Times highlighted in red are likely inappropriate/inconvenient, times highlighted in yellow may work and times highlighted in green are the most optimal. Look for rows where the time for all cities is highlighted in green.
